TL;DR
Most 4-5* hotels in Antalya have satellite TV packages with sports channels (e.g. Setanta Sports) showing matches with Russian commentary; if not available, streaming apps like Wink, Okko or Setanta Sports Play work (VPN or a Russian payment method may be needed).
Hotels rarely have Russian-language kids' channels — usually only English ones (Cartoon Network, Boomerang). For kids it's easier to stream cartoons via a phone/tablet app (YouTube, Wink Kids) using hotel Wi-Fi.
Matches with Russian commentary are most often shown on the Setanta Sports satellite channel, included in many hotel TV packages — ask reception if it's enabled on your room's satellite receiver.
If the hotel doesn't have that channel, you can stream matches via the Wink or Okko apps on your phone — a Russian payment card or prepaid account is needed for the subscription, but the connection itself works without a VPN.
As an alternative, the Setanta Sports Play app can be installed directly on a smartphone and isn't tied to a specific hotel or region.
